Get Relief From Breastfeeding Pain: Here Is How!

 Breastfeeding is one of the incredible ways to feed an infant. It is the journey of learning for you as well as your baby. But many people refuse to pay attention to the part of pain while breastfeeding their babies. If you are a new mother, you might probably be experiencing the pain of feeding your baby. Does it need to be painful at all? Obviously not. We are here with tips on how to make breastfeeding less painful and strengthen your bond with the baby. 
 

Latching properly – The first step when you start the journey of breastfeeding is to call the doctor or a lactation consultant to get the lactation support services. Breastfeeding issues are very common in new mothers, and you don’t have to deal with them all alone. Sore nipples and engorged breasts are often the results of not latching properly. A painful latch results in discomfort in the breasts and may even decrease your milk supply. It happens more often if you favor one breast over the other or do not fully drain the breasts with each feeding. Keep the nipple just above the top lip of the baby. The breast should fill the baby’s mouth for proper latching. 
 
Finding help – You can try finding the help near your location to get rid of the latch problems. If you get the appointment after two days with the lactation consultant, you can try some other methods in those two days to reduce the discomfort. You can lightly massage your milk ducts, apply a nipple cream and let your nipples dry after every feed. You can also try changing positions of the feeding to know what works best for you.
